Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe the design and construction of a handling trolley developed to simplify material handling processes in production areas as part of a company’s innovation strategy. Effective handling in any production process improves both quality and efficiency. Due to workplace changes, it was necessary to respond promptly and effectively. Based on this requirement, a handling trolley was designed to securely and efficiently hold clamping fixtures and transport them between workstations. The incorporation of new design parameters enabled the development of an innovative trolley that meets all operational requirements. The proposed trolley can be operated by a single worker and ensures safe, stable, and efficient transport of clamping fixtures. Its robust frame structure combined with a movable clamping unit provides a simple yet reliable solution for handling sampling devices.
